This same Pakistan is US's "Most Valued Ally". It is the same Pakistan which sheltered Osama bin Laden, 9/11 planner Khalid Sheikh Mohammad was Pakistani as well. The Haqqani targetting US soldiers are all sponsored by Pakistan govt intelligence agency ISI. But still they are US ally. Height of American impotence..... Sometimes I wonder whether US govt forces belong to Americans or rented out to protect terrorist Pakistani ISI.

Sad to see that the indian govenment is doing very little for these people. It should fasten the process to grant citizenship to these suffering hindus from pakistan and provide them with opportunities to earn a livelyhood in india.

What is the problem in fomalizing their stay? Just because they don't form a votebank, formalizing their stay is a problem? Every year lakhs of illegal bangladeshis who are dominant in bangladesh get formalized stay with fake documents and get all benefits and there is a problem with formalizing the stay of people who are in regions where they are persecuted just because they do not form a votebank? Talk about hypocrisy.

Great story. I can't believe how bad living in Pakistan must be for a mother to leave her child just so the rest could live a better life. Freedom of religion should work both ways. Muslims in America demand equal opportunity to worship, but Hindus in Pakistan are denied this opportunity. Pakistan is not America's ally, but its greatest enemy.

India is the holy land of the Hindus. Of course India should have right of return for Hindus. Unfortunately, as long as Italians rule India, this will never happen.

Kurup Das made the best decision of his lifetime in coming to India. And certainly he and his family will find more than food in India. It is entirely up to them how they bootstrap themselves out of present poverty and as they go about doing so, they will find people willing and eager to help. This has happened before too. Penniless refugees came in 1947, set up in tent cities, and moved on to become wealthy and acquire power and more importantly assimilate within India amongst Indians completely. I.K. Gujral went on to a great career and ended up being the Prime Minister as well. And at that time India itself was pitifully poor.
Certainly life in Pakistan for Hindus, and Other minorities must be terrible. I think the Indian government would find itself in hot waters amongst Indians in India and abroad, if they tried to turn away them. In fact for religious minorities from Pakistan - Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Parsis, Buddhists, Ahmadiya muslims it should have a defined process for granting residency permits, after stringent background checks and a path to citizenship.
To Mr. Nair - "What will happen if, say, tomorrow Hindus from Fiji or the Caribbean or say Guyana want to come,.." More than likely Fijians will head to Australia or New Zealand, Caribbeans, Guyanese to US or Canada, but should they seek India well we cannot turn them away. And I think it would be reflect very well on India too. A country is great only when people want to come to that country. Check USA, Canada, UK and as India rises she must follow in the paths of these countries, unless it wants to be China.
As regards Nepalis working in India, I don't think you will find many or any who will argue that this is a problem. and I thought that Nepalis have the right to study , work in India as they choose.
